    Bah, where were you three days ago! Just went a bought a bunch of hostas too. The whole time I was thinking, "I wonder if Idget will be offering up some hostas again?"

    Bummer! Should have called to check. Between the front and back yard, these F'ers need to be split every year.

    Hmm, I'm going to be in St. Paul this evening... Though I already have a couple of year's splittings of these, and I can start splitting the ones I got 2 years ago to cover the remainder of the space I want to cover. I split the ones I got last year into the tiniest possible sections and this year I have about 20 full plants from what were nearly single leaves last spring. If you want coverage, these are the ones to go with.

    Did you grab the green/white ones or the all green ones? The all green ones are out of control. Must be something in the soil.

    They don't do much right after you split them. The next season they get decent sized, the third, they go ape****.

    Ok, twist my arm. I'll be by sometime in the 6:30-7pm range. If you just want to leave 'em by the garage/alley that'd work.

    Thanks :)

    If you have any left I will take some tomorrow before firestone, or can you bring them if you go to firestone?. (assuming I am not getting super sick)

    Emily, I took them all, but realized after we were putting them in the ground that one was a different variety (green/white instead of all green), so we set that one aside (in a pot so it can recover). If you're interested, you can come grab that one.

    If you are getting rid of some the wife expressed interest. After all the car swapping i put her through I figured it's the least i can do.

    Expanding my vegetable garden this year so getting rid of a bunch of hostas. Probably in the next week or two before they're too big to transport. Contact me if you're interested.

    Good timing, I might grab some if I still need more after I get done dividing my monsters... What colors you looking to get rid of? Are they already dug and divided or is this a "u pick it" event? Thanks sheen :)

    Green leaves. Blooms purple.

    Pulling 3 massive ones this weekend then splitting and replanting on a 12' stretch between the fence and the alley. Guessing there will be 2 whole plants leftover.

    Text me if youre interested.

    2017 bump. Got one out of the ground (that I pulled last summer, left out of the ground for almost a year now, and has somehow come back to life) and several that need to be split.

    Delivery to WA? My wife was just asking who we used to get hostas from... Those were the best growing hostas we've ever had.

    Come and get 'em!

    Would almost be worth the road trip to hand deliver them. Hope you guys are doing well, Joel.

    Many. Bring the forester. 1 bundle can be split into at least 10 plants.
